This House In New York Received A Wood and Glass Revival

One year after purchasing this house in New York, the home owners asked Blaze Makoid Architecture to bring the home back to life by completely renovating it.

Wood and glass elements were added to contrast the aluminum siding of the existing building and helped to warm the material palette.

A landscaped yard with paths surrounds this New York home.

In the living room and casual dining room, large windows make the space bright, and a floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelf makes sure there’s enough room for displaying decorative items and books.

Other areas of the home include stairs that are enclosed with half-size safety walls.

White and wood always make a good combination when creating contemporary stairs.

The home also has a secondary lounge area, with windows that are hidden at the bottom of the walls, providing a subtle source of light for the room.
